I will help, though I am not sure what the events are or when. I have been lacking energy to get out, so being part of something would be a big help.

Unfortunately, I live to far away to participate in these San Diego events. However, I have seen many posts about HOW and the wonderful events you guys put on. But I am still hazy on what it is you guys actually do or HOW your events are structured... What is it that you need someone to volunteer for? For someone who isn't already involved in the fishing community, what would someone like me be signing up to do if we volunteered?

For those that are not sure what is entailed. Quite simply, we take our Vets out fishing for the day and feed them lunch. As a Mentor, we appreciate it if you could arrive around 6 to 6:15 in the morning and help unload the trailer, help set up, and take two to three Vets under you wing and assist them in a great day of kayak fishing. Lend them a hand with the fish they catch, and have a good time and get some fishing in yourself. The mentors that wish to stay on shore may help in the launching and recovery of the kayaks when the Vets come back to shore. May also be asked to help set up and/or prepare lunch. At the end of the day, (usually around 2 to 2:30) Help us to reload the trailer. These last two events of the year, we are hoping to max out the number of Vets that we take out and to do so, really need the help of our kayak community to make these the best and largest going into the Holidays. As always, we greatly appreciate the volunteers that help us and the Vets out. It is also a time that you can meet some of the other kayak fishermen and learn a few tips and new techniques or places to launch and fish. Thanks. Mike

That sounds like a lot of fun (I am also a vat, but want to help). Just a couple questions:
1) When? (Date, you listed the launch/land time) 2) Where? (I assume La Jolla?) 3) What should we bring? |

Hey. Giving a shout out to all of those who have helped out HOW in the past. It may have been awhile since you last came out to an event. We are in need of Mentors for the upcoming Oct. 22nd event at Tidelands. If it's been awhile since you have been to an event. Please consider coming out and seeing what we have grown to be. We are trying to go into the holidays with the largest and best events possible. We can only do it with your help. Thanks. Mike

I would say another 4 mentors would really help. We have 31 vets with a few of their kids likely to come as well for this event! Come make a difference.

As I said, add me to the list of mentors. I can at least prevent someone from getting kilt. Hopefully help someone catch some fish in the process.

I registered as shore based volunteer, but if OTW mentors are more needed i can do either.
Do mentors need to bring their own boat? |

Yes. Please bring your own yak. You will be more comfortable in it and we use ours for the Vets. In a pinch, you can use one of ours if available.
